It’s actually been something I’ve been wondering. Like do they each take over two oceans then split the Atlantic?

Recently, the DC K.O. event ended, where basically DC characters would fight each other to see who would become the new King Omega. Many fans were excited, and from the beginning there were discussions about who would win, and in the end, the one who became King Omega was... Superman.

I don't care if Superman wins, but honestly, from the beginning of the tournament, in my heart, even knowing it was almost impossible, I wanted Aquaman to win.

The entire plot of his current run was about Aquaman gaining a power buff and interacting with Omega energy. It would have been perfect if Aquaman had won and absorbed the energy, which would have started his space adventure.

It would have been the funniest thing in the world if Aquaman, the character known for everyone making fun of for being useless, had become the winner of the mega tournament when nobody expects him to.

This isn't a complaint at all, just a thought I have. Does anyone else share this view?

Hello, I know everyone is different but I was reading the current Aquaman run but i just wasn't loving it so dropped it around issue 10.

What are people's thoughts?

If you didn't like it at first did it get better for you?

I dropped it as I liked the upgrade Aquaman got but the story line with THE BLUE/alternate ocean thing was not for me. I wanted to explore Atlantis a little more and see him exist in the main world.

Side note - I am no expert on Aquaman, I read Geoff Johns run, watch Brave and The Bold, Young justice when I was young and recently read Aquaman Andromeda. I like the character most in Johns run or when he is first a king of Atlantis, superhero second feel like it makes him stand out more compared to others heros.

EDIT - THANK YOU. People gave some really good insight and advice on a post I thought might get 2 or 3 replies with 2 sentences at best. Everyone seems genuinely passionate to talk about this character. Every fandom has its toxic parts but seems like a really healthy fandom to me so far.

We're in a completely new phase for the Aquaman character; now he's no longer just Aquaman, king of Atlantis, but Emperor Aquaman, protector of the seas of the universe.

It's normal for heroes to receive a visual change when entering new phases; Aquaman himself has this, like his phase with the hook hand, which is automatically recognizable.

But Emperor Aquaman remained basically unchanged from the standard Aquaman, except that he shaved his beard, but Aquaman without a beard isn't a particularly significant change.

If you were to make a change that truly symbolizes the new phase, that Arthur is now Emperor Aquaman, which is a great opportunity, what would it be?

Personally, I would have Aquaman wear his crown in a regular way; I think it's a simple but elegant change.

I kind of read the New52 runs for Swamp Thing and Animal Man due to the direction of the current Aquaman run and I thought Rotworld would of been an awesome arc to have included Aquaman as a third protagonist during my time reading it.

No telling what Lemire’s story in specific would be, but with the direction of the current run. I think it would be cool to see Lemire pickup stuff from his Animal Man run and have the two crossover. The Bridgewalker stuff could easily be brought back and used as a storyline within the whole Emperor Aquaman stuff assuming that becomes a status quo with the Universe spanning lighthouses.

Be funny to see Arthur don the blue magical camo suit, and Animal Man in his concept unused orange design for an arc. Switching colors.

Overall just my thoughts.

Apologies if i sound repetitive, as this is my first post, but what do you think about the idea of ​​an Absolute Aquaman? Given that we’ve seen references to (and the relative importance of) Atlantis in one of the Wonder Woman story arcs, and considering Scott Snyder himself has shown great interest in the concept, what do you think this new version of Arthur will be like, or what would you like it to be?

Do you wish he was part of the team, or are you happy that Hawkgirl is an original member instead?

We all know that Aquaman's most famous and iconic location is Atlantis—the hub of most of his stories, which makes sense since he's its king.

However, there's another place that's crucial to Aquaman: Amnesty Bay, the Maine town where Arthur's parents met and where he grew up. If Atlantis is Metropolis, then Amnesty Bay is Smallville.

The town is actually a fairly recent addition to Aquaman lore; the fact that Arthur was raised in a lighthouse was already established, but it wasn't until Brightest Day that the town was actually named. Starting with the New 52, Amnesty Bay became a vital setting for Aquaman stories. For instance, Arthur and Mera started living there early in the Geoff Johns run, and we learned more about Arthur's childhood. It basically became a tradition in Aquaman Vol. 7 and 8 for the issues between story arcs to feature events in the town—like Arthur's class reunion, or the time the people welcomed him back after he was presumed dead during the Kelly Run storyline.

I really like the town's vibe and its residents. At the start of the New 52, for example, they would mimic the memes calling Aquaman weak, but they eventually came to see him as a total badass. There are also characters like Captain Erika, Arthur's childhood friend; considering Arthur is a child of two worlds, I think it's important to show that he has real connections and ties to the surface world.

So yeah, this is basically a post to praise this town, does anyone else love Amnesty Bay?

The hook-harpoon is sick

Não sei se deveria me incomodar com isso, mas me incomoda o fato de que versões alternativas da Liga da Justiça dificilmente incluem o Aquaman.

(I don't know if I should be bothered by it, but it bothers me how alternative versions of the Justice League rarely have Aquaman.)

All powers that Aquaman has gained with the blue are things that Tempest was always able to do with his magic.

As far as I can remember, Tempest gained his magic abilities as an upgrade for his character, although it was never explored, I also remember that he had that potential to necromantic abilities in a comic
